If p → q is true, then ~ p → ~ q is __________ true. always sometimes never

OpenStudy (jamesj):

Let p be the statement that x = y and let q be the statement that x+1 = y+1 Then it is clearly the case that p → q But what about ~ p → ~ q ? Well, that statement is false in this case. Hence it can NOT be that p → q ALWAYS implies ~ p → ~ q But are there cases when p → q does implies ~ p → ~ q ?

OpenStudy (jamesj):

Yes there are. Let p and q be the same statement. Then p → q, because p → p. And that does imply that ~p → ~q because ~p → ~p Therefore, what's the answer to your question?
